Gold Coast cont:

Forgot to mention in our last update that we also had shopping trips to Harbour Town & the Surf shop outlets. We had many trips around to the prawn trawlers to get fresh prawns caught the previous night and have enjoyed quiet a few kilos of them, will be popping around first thing in the morning to buy some more to enjoy with Alison & David tomorrow night after a hard day on the road.

Gold Coast

The family has returned to Tassie so now how the time and energy to write our blog !

We arrived here at Southport Sunday week ago after enduring a couple of days rain at Bribie Island. The weather since has been just beautiful, during the day it has been very warm and sunny, one night we had a thunder storm & lightening which was very specky. We have also had a couple of nights where it has rained rather heavy but nothing during the day, so Tania & Co were very lucky to have had such good weather all the time that they were here.

It has certainly been a busy time since the grandchildren arrived with something happening every day. Bazza & I enjoyed going to Dreamworld/White Water world & Movieworld with them but was totally spent by the time we left the theme parks glad to get back to our caravan to rest up for the next day. We babysat Cooper a couple of days while the bigger boys had more time at White Water World and Wet and Wild then it was time to visit Seaworld , Bazza decided he would have a day off and do his own thing. We all had the best time at Seaworld and thought that he should have been there. I just loved the Battle Ships at Pirate Bay, I ended up with very very wet clothes as could not help myself, if I saw someone still dry had to make sure they ended up drenched, sometimes I came off worse. Had a great time could have gone back again ! Another tourist thing that we enjoyed with the boys was the Super Duck, which is an amphibious vehicle. They were very impressed that the bus was able to go in the water like a boat.

We leave the Gold Coast tomorrow after 12 days here at Southport, and will travel down to New South Wales with our friends Alison & David and will enjoy some travelling company for a couple of weeks before we make a dash for the Spirit on the 25th.





Which one is the Walrus ???
